1940'sEugene Yehle '41 wrote to note an interesting coincidence: "Four alums find themselves together in Independence Village of Midland, a residence for seniors. The four include myself, my wife, Mildred Hoff Yehle '43, David Fry '40 and Jack Thorsberg '49."
1960'sRosemary DeHoog '60 is the new women's tennis coach at Le Moyne College (Syracuse, New York). She was formerly the head professional at Drumlins Tennis Club and an adjunct professor of exercise science and coordinator of the tennis program at Syracuse University.
Fred Jackson '60 is the new president of the Kalamazoo Downtown Lions Club. He began his term July 1. The Lions Clubs (1.5 million members in 200 countries) have been assisting people with vision problems since 1925 and assisting hearing impaired individuals for the past 10 years.
Dick Marsden '63 is a veteran of 26 years with Naval Aviation. He had the opportunity to travel all over the world for half that time. The remaining years were spent as an Aeronautical Engineering Duty Officer, with much of that time spent in the Washington, D.C., area. When he retired (in California) he launched a second career in the aerospace industry. At the present time Dick is looking forward to retiring yet again in mid-2009. He and his wife, Susan, have "settled" in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Dick has pursued a nearly lifelong interest in wine and has become a certified wine judge and wine educator. With links to the American Wine Society and the Society of Wine Educators, Dick has started two local chapters of the AWS, and he and Susan are currently regional vice presidents for the AWS New Mexico region. Dick also is a trustee on the board of the AWS Educational Foundation. This foundation raises funds to award scholarships to master's and doctoral level students of enology and viticulture at the nation's top universities such as UC-Davis and Cornell. After his second retirement, Dick plans to become more involved in wine pursuits, resume his engagement in nonprofit activities, and spend more time with family. "I regret not being able to attend the 45th reunion due to an overload of commitments, but I look forward to our future reunions." Email firstname.lastname@example.com

Bill Barrett '66 wrote, "I have returned from four weeks in Australia and five days in Hong Kong. Australia is as large as the United States, but its 21 million people live on a million square kilometers along the east and southeast coasts and Perth in the southwest. The remaining six million square kilometers are arid, barren, and virtually empty, save for a few towns hundreds of miles apart. It was through this area (think Washington to Los Angeles and New Orleans to Minneapolis) that my son Jonathan and I traveled in a rental car; on a two-day train ride across the Nullarbor (Latin for 'no trees') Plain; with a guide in a 4WD making a long loop around the center of the continent; in planes logging hours of flying time over nothingness. I still can't fathom a country so vast, flat, arid, and empty. (Read Bill Bryson's Sunburned Land). Even the Sahara, equal in size and shape to the U.S. and Australia, had more inhabited places and changes in topography. I spent three weeks there in January 2006. Hong Kong was a stark contrast: seven million people living in thousands of high rise apartments and working in office buildings in an area not much larger than Manhattan Island. The sidewalks and streets were so crowded with people and buses that one could not walk at a normal pace. Ingrid and I have enjoyed countless travel adventures, but she does not share my fondness for long desert journeys (and Australia is 80 percent desert). She took a small cottage just a few yards from the ocean on Cape Cod and spent three weeks in personal retreat with time for reading and reflection, and brief visits from Christina and Elizabeth. She returned from her three weeks by the sea refreshed and renewed for her ministry."
Terry Brown '66 retired as Bishop of Malaita (in the Solomon Islands) on August 18. He served in that position for 12 years. In May he completed his fifth and last synod, a gathering of all the clergy and lay representatives (about 145) of parishes and diocesan institutions, held for one week every three years. During his tenure as Bishop the diocese grew from 32 to 45 parishes (415 congregations). It includes a lay training center for catechists and those pushed out of secondary school (with courses in carpentry, mechanics, life skills and home economics, and agriculture), a clinic, a secondary school, four religious communities, and extensive diocesan programs. There are some 35,000 Anglicans (Episcopalians) in the Diocese. In July Brown attend the Lambeth Conference in England. (You can read his journal here.) Lambeth is a meeting that occurs every 10 years at the invitation of the Archbishop of Canterbury. It includes leaders of those churches who find their common parentage in the Church of England, and it provides the opportunity to discuss common concerns and reaffirm bonds of affection. Terry was involved in the lead-up to Lambeth as a member of the Anglican Primates' Taskforce on Theological Education (TEAC) as one of the conveners. He also was involved as one of the authors of the "Listening Process" study guide on the controversial area of homosexuality, work that had taken him to London, Johannesburg, and Singapore. Both groups presented their work at Lambeth. During the conference Terry preached at the Melanesian Mission Festival at St. Martin-in-the-Fields. He also preached at two other London parishes and one in Cambridge. After Lambeth he returned to the Solomon Islands for a round of ordinations, confirmations, and consecrations of church buildings before his retirement. Then it was time for a two-month holiday. "I am planning to return to the Solomons in my retirement to work on the church archives and help with theological education and the founding of a new Church of Melanesia University," said Brown. "The difference will be not having a diocese to look after, which will be a welcome relief." Brown is pictured in the back row, at center.
Sharon (Young) Cherry '66 retired in 2006 after 28 years at the University of South Carolina Upstate. This academic year, however, she got "sucked back into the profession" and now teaches Spanish at Furman University. "It hasn't been tough, though," she wrote. "My husband has been on the faculty here for more than 35 years. I know everybody, and the best part is that it's only two miles from my house instead of the 35 I used to travel."

Mary (Van Atta) Kelly '66 and her husband, Gerry, have opened an English Pub and Steak House, The Waterside Inn, on Lake Conroe, one of the largest man-made lakes in Texas, 40 miles north of Houston in Montgomery. "Even though the economy is tanking, I still feel good about his place," wrote Mary. "People may not be running around in their boats so much but would rather sit and drink and eat and look at the water. (It's got to be cheaper!). Gerry's long time friend and partner, with whom we are opening the Waterside Inn, owns several ice skating rinks and pubs and restaurants around Britain and has bought a house here, right across from the restaurant. Gerry's background is in hotel and resort, conference center and country club management. We lived in England for four years and had our own old pub and bed and breakfast, so we have lots of experience."
David Kyvig '66 was a keynote speaker at a discussion titled "The Age of Impeachment: American Constitutional Culture Since 1960." The discussion was sponsored by the Division of United States Studies at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and occurred in mid-May in Washington, D.C. Commentators included James Reston, Jr., senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center, and Linda Greenhouse, Supreme Court reporter for the New York Times. David is a distinguished research professor in the department of history at Northern Illinois University and the author of several books, including his most recent, from which the conference title was taken. Kyvig noted the contrast between the use of impeachment between 1789 and 1960 (rarely) and after 1961 (often). He suggested that impeachment has become the "canary in the mine shaft," a sign of an increasingly toxic political culture. However, the unintended (and paradoxical) legacy of recent impeachment efforts may be an enhanced presidential power and a tightened control over information about actions taken by the White House. Several alumni attended the event (l-r): Tom Hipple '65, Charles Haberlein '67, and Amy Hale '66. David Kyvig is seated.
Dennis Stover '66 was appointed to the board of directors of Artha Resources Corporation, a uranium mining company.

He is currently the executive vice president of Americas for Uranium One.
Deanna (Hultquist) Tiefenthal '66 was one of five "K" graduates who sang the Kalamazoo Fight Song on their way down a Maya pyramid in Tikal, Guatemala--probably the first time "Reckity X, Ko-X, Ko-X ..." had been heard in that location. The other vocalists included three other 1966 classmates--Jim Tiefenthal, Beth (Neubert) Myers, Dick Myers--and Ruth (Neubert) Stuart '70, Beth's sister, who traveled with her non-"K" husband, Dick, who took the photo. The group was exploring the "Route of the Maya," visiting not only ruins from the Maya classical period but also meeting and visiting many current-day Maya. "We're still exploring other cultures," wrote Deanna, "a legacy of our foreign study days. Thank you, 'K!'"

They downsized by selling off about 90 percent of their belongings in order to "start over in a much more minimalist fashion. We have a very small furnished condo in Green Valley, a retirement community just south of Tucson, where we will live until we decide exactly where we want to live--possibly in Green Valley, but definitely in the Tucson area."

The former Hornet football player and economics major gave a talk titled "An International Leadership Career." Pat has spent much of his 19-year career as an executive with Stryker Corporation living overseas--in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. He elaborated upon the strong connection between his participation in intercollegiate athletics and his successful business career. The former, he said, helped him learn valuable lessons about high expectations, hard work, team work, and leadership, all of which he has applied to his work at Stryker. He ended his talk by stressing the importance of what he called "the search for the potato," a metaphor (harking back to Sir Walter Raleigh's presentation to Queen Elizabeth I of a potato, a new discovery from the new world) for the primacy of continual exploration in business and in learning. Exploration is not dead, he insisted, but if we become lazy then the explorers will not be us. And, he cautioned, in business and in learning, it is the explorers that are successful. "Find the potato before it lands on your doorstep," he said. The event was jointly sponsored by the athletic department and the economics department.

I figure I better tell you about it before you hear about it from elsewhere. We 'did it' back in 2006, so it's a little off my radar at the moment, but will soon be back on full force. We are going to be on the Today Show on June 23 and then some other morning show called Mike and Juliet, as well as being featured in Redbook and Men's Health in July. Oh, and the New York Times is running a piece on the book in its Style section mid-June because, believe it or not, we have competition. Apparently another couple had the same idea, but they did it 365 days (I'm referring to her just as "The Slut"). But, they are opposite of us -- hardcore Republicans, she goes to a Bible study group, Southern, etc. It's more like Red State Sex vs. Blue State Sex. And why we did the book is a long story that will be told soon enough."

Kristin Stahley '02 is one of seven "runners up" for USA Weekend's "Most Caring Coach Award," a distinction that drew more than 1,900 nominations nationwide. Kristin coaches young swimmers, ages 9-14, for the Lansing (Mich.) Capital Area Swim Team (CAST). She's an excellent coach. Seven of the 13 swimmers named to the Lansing State Journal's girl's swimming "Dream Team" had been coached by Kristin. In the photo she's flanked by two of her CAST swimmers, who happen to be the top two finishes in the 1650 freestyle at the Michigan Junior Olympic Swim Meet. She coaches despite a painful six year battle against rhabdomysarcoma, a rare form of muscle tissue cancer that causes multiple tumors throughout the body. When Kristin was first diagnoses she was given the grim prognosis of just six months to live. Experimental treatments have prolonged her life, but her battle is ongoing. Twice each week she goes to Ann Arbor for debilitating chemotherapy treatments, one side effect of which has been the development of leukemia. None of that stops her coaching. She also attends graduate school, seeking a master's degree in public policy and administration. She hopes to work in nonprofit management or health services policy, and she shares her career aspirations with her young swimmers. Her nominators wrote, "At the pool she's a no-nonsense disciplinarian who pushes her swimmers to establish and achieve high goals in the pool and in the classroom. Away from the pool, she's a trusted friend living her life in a way that's a source of inspiration to her swimmers and their families."

Sara Wiener '03 completed her thesis for her MSW at Smith College (Northampton, Mass.). Her research explored why many high achieving undergraduate college women feel like fakes or frauds in academia. "I have lived and breathed this thing for an entire year--actually, exactly a year. I turned it in at 12:30, when my two closest friends in the program got out of class. They accompanied me to the office to turn it in, and I made them take pictures of the whole process. It was both ridiculous and amazingly fun. It sort of sounds like a birth story, like "mother and baby are doing fine." It sort of felt that way. I have no job plans--yet. Need to get one. Not sure where. Not sure with what population in what setting. I am finding myself eager to go for my PhD much sooner than I anticipated. My thesis adviser and I are planning to tweak my thesis for publication as a journal article, and I am also thinking about joining her research efforts on self-injury among non-clinical female populations. Self-injury has been an interest of mine for a while, so partnering with her seems like a perfect fit. We'll see. I think the library and I need to separate for a while and see other people. It'll just be trial separation though."
Kelly (Karakashian) Callan '04 is a brake systems product engineer at Chrysler. She completed her mechanical engineering degree at Lawrence Technical University in May 2007. In November she married Dikran Callan. "We went to the same Armenian church growing up," wrote Kelly, "and our parents knew each other long before we were born. Oddly enough, we met (probably spoke to each other for the first time) on a volunteer trip to Armenia in 2000. Then we started dating a short time after that trip. We were married in the same church where both sets of parents were married in 1977, within a few weeks of each other and 30 years before our wedding. They were pretty happy about the whole thing; they probably couldn't have arranged it better if they had tried to arrange it!" Kelly and Dikran live in the Detroit area.

Kim Juwong '07 has returned to her study abroad roots. She teaches English at a Montessori School in Beijing, China. "It feels good to be back," she wrote. "Everything in Beijing was constantly changing when I was here in 2005, so I expected to come back to a completely different city, and that I did. There are so many new buildings--apartments, shopping centers, bars, and restaurants--and many of my favorite places no longer exist. The city is much greener; there are trees and flowers everywhere, but there are no street vendors anywhere. I desperately hope that street vendors reappear once all the Olympics stuff is over. It almost doesn't feel like China. It feels like I'm in a large U.S. city with lots of Chinese people around.

Sakhi Vyas '08 returned to Ahmedabad, India, (where she completed an internship) to work for the non-governmental organization SEWA. "SEWA stands for Self-Employed Women's Association and was founded 30 years ago to empower rural women who work in the informal sector," Sakhi wrote. "On average, women in developing countries work longer days than men for significantly less pay (if any at all). Women are primarily responsible for gathering fuel and water, caring for children and the elderly, buying and processing food, preparing and serving meals, doing laundry, nursing the sick, and generally managing the household. On top of this, the rural women are midwives, tailors, bidi (cigarette) rollers, and construction workers. They work as farmers and in textiles and handicrafts. However, their informal work is not considered real in the sense of a job, for which they can earn liquid wages. SEWA was founded to help these women. They are taught to value their work as a service which requires compensation. SEWA has blossomed to include a radio station, an academy (where I worked during my internship), a bank, and now a trade facilitation center (STFC). STFC was formed to unite the textile and handicraft workers to create fair uniform prices for the products and to allow for growth and increased training in the crafts. I do marketing for STFC to create international alliances."

Jean Collin , professor emeritus at the University of Caen, passed away in late July of an extended illness. He was 82. Monsieur Collin was known to generations of Kalamazoo students who studied in Caen as a dynamic and demanding teacher of French language and culture in what was referred to by students as the "strangers' course." He was associated with the Kalamazoo College foreign study from its earliest days as a summer program. In addition to his teaching, he held a variety of other positions at the university over the years. A man of many interests and talents, he was equally adept at constructing a traditional bake over in the garden of his country house in Maizet, composing Latin citations for the university, and making his own Norman cider. He was a proud Norman and a walking encyclopedia of Norman history, culture, cuisine, and traditions. A human skull, which he always claimed was that of one of his Viking ancestors, occupied a prominent place in his office. In addition to his numerous shorter talks and papers, he was the author of two books, one on the history of the University of Caen and the other on his home commune of Venoix. Jean Collin was one of those unforgettable people who contributed greatly to the success of the Kalamazoo program in Caen. We esteemed his friendship and will recall with pleasure the many enjoyable times we spent together.

He traveled to Hiroshima to accept the award, and on that occasion said, "There is still in all our minds, of course, the memory of the rubble-strewn surface of the earth that mid-August.... But for me the stronger image now is the courage I encountered in the midst of despair, the willingness to think of a distant future that would be brighter and richer than the militaristic past." Montgomery served as an advisor to a variety of international development programs, work that took him to some 80 countries. He was a consultant for many agencies and foundations, including the Agency for International Development, the World Bank, the Department of Agriculture, the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations, UNESCO, and more.

According to her daughter, Jennifer (Smith) Sanderson '66, Ellen was extremely proud of her time at Kalamazoo. "You can't imagine how it peppered our growing-up years," wrote Jennifer. "Mother's memories of Drs. Diebold and Watts, Trowbridge stories, and thoughts of being chosen Queen of the May Fete were primary in our consciousness. I'm sure my decision to enroll at 'K' was predicated on Easter photos taken in front of Stetson Chapel, winter basketball games, and the tennis tournaments. The foreign study program was icing on the cake." Hough's family members who attended Kalamazoo are: Robert Hotelling '38 (brother), Frances (Ring) Hotelling '39 (sister-in-law), William Sanderson '67 (son-in-law), Amy (Hotelling) Leblanc '70 (niece), Edie (Smith) Trent '71 (daughter), and Peter Sanderson '97 (grandson).

FriendsKurt Kaufman , professor of chemistry at Kalamazoo College from 1956 to 1980, died on July 1, 2008. He grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana and earned a B.A. from Wabash College, a Master's from Harvard University, and a D.Phil in organic chemistry from Oxford University. He held over 10 patents for drugs developed from his work with the psoralens, organic compounds found in the skin and he also conducted research at Kalsec, a spice extraction company in Kalamazoo, Michigan. But his great passion was teaching, and both colleagues and students considered him a truly gifted communicator and leader. His friend and colleague, Larry Barrett, once described Kurt as that rarest of teachers, one who encouraged and then listened to the questions that "have been trained out of most of us," the kind of question that "drives down under the commonly held assumptions." Dr. Kaufman was happiest when he was teaching, and he mentored hundreds of future chemists and thinkers. He was an avid tennis player, actor in the Reader's Theatre, and reveler at the Whistle Stop on Friday afternoons. Dr. is survived by his wife of 37 years, Marilee. He has three daughters, Kristina Vaughan-Towne, Cindi Gilliland, and Meredith Kaufman; five grandchildren; as well as scores of friends. He suffered a debilitating stroke in 1980 that took away his ability to speak, read, and write. Despite this overwhelming disability, he continued to inspire all who knew him by his strength of will and character as well as his incredible sense of humor. Dr. Kaufman spent the last 20 years living in Florida, on Sanibel Island and in Fort Myers, loved and cared for by his wife. He will be deeply missed by many. Any gifts can be made in the form of a donation to: the Kurt Kaufman Fellowship at Kalamazoo College, 1200 Academy St., Kalamazoo, Michigan, 49006 or Hospice at Shell Point in Ft. Myers, Florida, 33908.
Warren I. "Swede" Thomas died on July 15, 2008. Swede served Kalamazoo College in numerous capacities from 1956 to 1980. He was born in Newcastle, Indiana, on December 23, 1917. He graduated from Wittenberg College (Springfield, Ohio), where he excelled as a student and a football player. He later earned a Master's degree from Western Michigan University. It was at Wittenberg that he met the love of his life, Patricia Sims. They wed on July 7, 1943, and were happily married for 64 years. Patricia predeceased her husband on April 8, 2008. Swede was a First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army, and during World War II served as a medic in the European theatre of operations. After the war he began his career in education at Waukegan (Ill.) High School as a teacher and coach (basketball and football). He left Waukegan for Olivet College and worked there for three years before joining Kalamazoo College in 1956. At "K" he was a professor of physical education throughout his career. He also coached cross-country, track, and served as an assistant coach in football and basketball. He was renowned for a cross-country training trip during which team members ran from Sault Saint Marie in Michigan's Upper Peninsula to the Kalamazoo College campus. From 1966 to 1980 he worked in the Career-Service department, serving as its director for the last 12 years of his career at "K". He also was an avid volunteer for the USTA Boys 18 &16 National Championships. In all of these capacities he significantly and positively influenced the lives of countless students and athletes. He is survived by a daughter, Becky Marion, and her husband, Richy, of Fort Myers, Florida; a son, Peter Thomas, and his partner, Joan, of Boekelia, Florida, and a granddaughter, Karrie Thomas, of Holland, Michigan. Swede will be missed by many people. The family suggests that memorial gifts be made to the Kalamazoo College Athletic Fund at Kalamazoo College, 1200 Academy Street, Kalamazoo, Michigan.

2013 Record: 8-7
The Packers will begin their 2013 season in the same place their 2012 season ended, in San Francisco's Candlestick Park to see their old buddy Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick and the Niners destroyed the Packers' defense in the playoffs in January, possibly exposing the fact that the Packers don't adapt well to read-option offenses. Aaron Rodgers, your typical dropback passer who just happens to be incredibly accurate, had a typical Rodgers season with 39 touchdowns and eight interceptions. What's even more impressive is noting the fact that their running game was really dormant last season. Alex Green, Cedric Benson, and James Starks combined for less than 1000 rushing yards and just two touchdowns, and none averaged more than 3.6 yards per carry. That's bad. Luckily, Rodgers did have Randall Cobb (80 receptions, 954 receiving yards), James Jones (64 receptions, 784 yards, and 14 touchdowns), Jermichael Finley, and Jordy Nelson. Notice how that doesn't include Greg Jennings, the longtime #1 receiver who succeeded Donald Driver but now has been succeeded himself after missing much of 2012. Jennings signed with the Vikings in the offseason. The Packers just seem to find guys who fit right in their system. To fix the running problem, they drafted two college studs in Alabama's Eddie Lacy in the second round and UCLA's Johnathan Franklin in the fourth round. One or both could see significant playing time.
The Packers heart and soul of the defense over the last half-decade has to safety Charles Woodson with the possible exception of Clay Matthews. So how could the Packers just cut him unceremoniously? That's the Packer way, as unfortunate as it is. They would rather cut him now than still have him when he loses effectiveness. So Woodson is off to Oakland, and the Packers made next to no moves in free agency to make up for it. But they did draft UCLA's Datone Jones at defensive end to add to an already-strong pass rush. Matthews led the pass rush with 13 of Green Bay's 47 sacks which ranked 4th in the league last year. Plenty of Packer mainstays are on the defensive side of the ball, as Tramon Williams and Sam Shields have worked their ways up to become the top corners, B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett up front, and A.J. Hawk, Desmond Bishop, and Nick Perry at linebacker. With a solid returning lineup all the way around, there's no reason to believe the Packers won't be in deep playoff contention yet again.

Power Aware cord
Why Design Now?: Power Aware Cord
Why? Most people have no sense of their energy usage until they receive their monthly utility bill. The Power Aware cord is a poetic gesture that indicates energy is flowing to an appliance through glowing pulses and intensity of light. For instance, changing the volume on stereo equipment becomes immediately visible, as does the silent drain of electricity from appliances on standby.

OURAY COUNTY – Last week marked (almost) a million dollar week in Ouray County, with the news of two major grant awards to help fund capital improvement projects.
Early in the week, Colorado's Department of Local Affairs announced its decision to award $600,000 toward the county's grant request for $697,000 to help fund repairs to County Road 361 (otherwise known as the Camp Bird Road). On Friday, Great Outdoors Colorado announced it will fund the $350,000 grant request from Ouray County for the demolition of the old grandstands, and the construction of new ones, at the Ouray County Fairgrounds.The GOCO grant was one of several that Ouray County pursued to help fund the $600,000 project.
The county concurrently applied for grants of $88,403 each from the Gates Foundation and El Pomar Foundation after encouragement from both funding entities at the Western Slope Rural Philanthropy Days in June. The Gates Foundation grant request was rejected in November; the county anticipates receiving word from El Pomar on Tuesday, Dec. 17.
News of the grant awards comes on the heels of the Ouray County Commissioners' Dec. 10 decision to approve a stripped-down budget for 2014 that includes a 10 percent reduction in full-time county employees' work weeks, and the closure of the Ouray County Courthouse on Fridays starting in January 2014.
The cost-saving measures come in response to a budget shortfall, stemming from declining property values in Ouray County and correspondingly lower property tax revenues. Ouray County voters rejected a countywide sales tax measure in November which sought to replenish the shortfall.
